The hit show had just returned from its six-month hiatus when it returned with its mid-season premiere, The Reckoning .

In this episode Claire (Caitriona Balfe) decided to return to to Craigh na Dun without Jamie’s (Sam Heughan) knowledge, which resulted in her capture and near rape at the hands of Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies).

Jamie and the Highlanders manage to rescue her but he is unhappy that his wife’s choice has put everyone in danger.

What happened next, was shocking but rather exciting. Our favourite couple have an explosive argument before Jamie spanks Claire.

But now a deleted scene from the episode has been released - watch it in the player above.
